A carriage drive from Glacier House to the Caves in Cougar Valley, it is hoped, will be completed by the end of the season (1911). It is proposed to build the road to within fifteen minutes' walk of the caves. All other expeditions must be made by pony or on foot.

The various climbs, expeditions and places of interest are noted in alphabetical order. Altitudes are in feet above sea-level; distances in miles and fractions of a mile. Going time only is given, unless otherwise stated. As a general rule two-thirds of going time should be allowed for return.

Mt. Abbott—Name: After H. Abbott, an official of the C.P.R.

Altitude: 8081 ft.

Location: South of the railway between Asulkan and Loop Brooks. Its summit, a high point of the Asulkan Valley, is reached by a path starting up the mountain immediately behind the hotel where the wing and annex join.

Distance: The distance is about 4 miles and the time required from 3½ to 4 hours. For novices one guide is necessary.

View: The summit of Mt. Abbott commands a very fine view of the Asulkan Pass (a snow pass), the Illecillewaet Névé, the. entire west face of the Sir Donald Range, the narrow defile of Rogers Pass, and the south face of the Hermit Range; looks directly into the valley of Cougar Brook and, turning to the left, takes in the east face of Mt. Bonney. It is one of the most comprehensive view-points of the entire range. The expedition is an easy one and well repays the exertion. On the way Marion Lake is passed and the path leading to Observation Point (see under M and 0).

Ponies can be taken to the alps below the final rock-ridge, whence the climbing is all rock.

Just beyond Marion Lake a path branches to the left leading for three-quarters of a mile southerly along the mountain side and terminating at a vantage spot from which there is a perfect bird's-eye view of the Asulkan Valley and the glacial amphitheatre at its upper end, very striking in contrasts, and showing the slow stupendous achievements of the Glacier. Here the merest layman may read the testimony of the rocks concerning glaciers as erosive factors. The path to this interesting spot is not much used and has been neglected.

The expedition to the Abbott Alp is one of the easiest and most satisfactory that can be made in a day from the hotel. Those not wishing to climb can leave out the ascent to the rock-ridge and its traverse to the summit, taking instead the two by-paths to Observation Point (see under 0) and to the unnamed point overlooking the Asulkan Valley and Glacier.

Abbott Ridge—Name: In relation to Mt. .Abbott.

Altitude: 7,300 to 8,000 ft.

Location: Extends northerly from the summit of Mt. Abbott. The route is the same as to Mt. Abbott. The extreme north end of the Ridge is known locally as the Abbott Overlook. It presents much the same view as that from the Abbott summit, but with a difference. The lower elevation, while curtailing the views south and west, enhances the grandeur of the surrounding peaks and enables you to
